Definitely a great option for taking a break from my usual workouts. Thanks for the tip! Amber - Wow! I don't know if I could do 5:30 a.m. since I'm a bit of a night-owl, but I'm impressed with your dedication. :-) I do like the way I feel after a workout though, so maybe one of these days I set the alarm for 5:30. I'll keep you posted! Lauryn - I checked out some of the workout videos on iTunes and bought a yoga video and an abs video. Definitely a great option for taking a break from my usual workouts.

Thanks so much for your comment on my blog. This is a great blog you have here :-) I'm only in my third year of university and I have 2.5 semesters left but I have a feeling it's going to FLY by! I'm going to add your blog to my reader so I can check in more often! As for working out, I'm currently experiencing that flexibility you talked about and it's wonderful! I just go to the gym whenever I have a chance, between classes, after classes etc. However, last summer I was working a full time day job and a part time evening job. The only way I could get my workout in was early in the morning. So, at 5:30 am, five days a week, I'd roll out of bed and head to the gym! It sounds daunting, and getting up that early can be hard, but honestly after the first week you get in the habit of getting up that early and it's really not so bad! Plus, I LOVE how I feel after a hard workout! Hope that helps :-) Hi Erin!!

Once you get going, you think about how good it feels to be active and that motivates you to go. First off, make a great playlist. Second, drink lots of water during the day to stay hydrated, especially in the winter. And third, have options. Going to the gym can be great, but when I don't want to leave the house I do yoga at home by listening to a 45 minute yoga practice I bought on iTunes. There is so much exercise stuff for at home when it is cold out, such as YouTube videos and iTunes podcasts. My advice is to be excited to work-out.
